Nathan Murray With Money Bookers Scam Tried To Scam Me With Car Sale , Internet
10th of Dec, 2010 by User854353
Well i ran across this website called "AutoCrisis.com" and found a 2002 Honda Civic for the sale price of $2200. From the picture provided the car looked in great condition with only 84,000 miles on it. Personally i felt it was a deal and i was in need of a car. I noticed their were 4 ads for the same car. Each add had a different number and no email. I called each number and got no response. I couldnt even leave a message. Seemed like a lost cause. So i began to look else where. The next day i ran across the car again on Used-Cars.info. I saw that this was the same car and it even had a email address. I immediately sent a email and waited for a response. Here is our conversation.


Hello. My Name is.....and i am interested in the 2002 honda your selling. If you could email me back as soon as possible. i would greatly appreciate it.

"Hello, Sorry If i delayed in replying, but I'm in Ottawa ( Canada ) right now and I have been very busy..Anyway,thank you for your interest in buying the car..The car is located in USA right now and has US papers..Why is the price so low? I am going trough a divorce, and I had to move out of US I cannot register the car here, as it is made for USA according to US standards.. So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast(I already made a deposit here to buy me another).The title is clean and you will have absolutely no problems to register the car in your city. I will tell you a few words about the car.... My 2002 Honda Civic with Automatic transmission it is in immaculate condition with 84,923 miles,rust free , no scratch and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs very well.....The interior looks great(NO SMOKING).This car needs nothing,the title is clear ,it is not a salvage one. I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have little time at my disposal.The car is like new, in perfect conditions,accident free, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever.....a genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me. Here are all the photos of my car. The pictures are recent, and they were taken right before preparing the car for sale.
The car is exactly as shown in the pictures:
The price is $2,200 THIS IS MY FINAL PRICE.......I will not negotiate the price.I will take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car ,to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions.This way,I shall be assured of the serious intentions. So if you are interested please email me back for next step........ Regards !!
Nathan,

Hi again,
Look how we will do this step: Before leaving I had prearranged shipping and also the payment with MoneyBookers. so my presence in U.S isn't necessary(The car is locked in a MoneyBookers warehouse New York ready for delivery).The price of car $2,200 includes all the shipping costs and insurance, so you won't have to pay any extra charges. Here is what I suggest: we will use MoneyBookers which acts like an escrow service , you make a deposit of 35% the price of the car in a MoneyBookers managed trust fund ( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I send the car over( the car will be delivered with the title, owner's manual, 2 sets of keys, service records, and of course the bill of sale authorized and signed by me),I will offer a 5 day period from the day you receive it from the shipping company,you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then if you decided to keep it, you'll confirm to MoneyBookers the sale so that they can start paying me and then you send me the remaining money. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked.I think this is more than fair for the both of us. NOTE: The deposit (down payment) is refundable, and is just a security measure, to make sure that you are serious, and that I am not going to ship the car, and loose time and money. So if you are interested to go ahead with the deal, please reply with your full name ,shipping address and contact phone numbers so I can ask MoneyBookers to open a case! After, they will contact you explaining all the details regarding the payment..
I'm looking forward to hear from you.. Thank you,
Nathan.


From this point i am ready to make the transaction. I explain to my dad the situation and what the seller wants to do. I ask my dad has he ever heard of Money Bookers. He says no. I havent heard of it myself. So he decides to do a search on it. He later calls me back saying that its a scam. I was in shock. He told me to search if for myself. When i came home from work i did a search and came across many of the same scamming stories. I'm really glad i asked my dad to search for Money Bookers, because i could have lost out on money and not have a car. As of right now i havent replied to the e-mail. Its a shame people would cheat you out of your hard earn money for their own benefit. One day these scammers with be brought to justice. I would like to thank everyone for sharing their stories to put a warning to future online buyers. You saved me from making a big mistake. I hope me sharing my story helps others. Sometimes its best to do your research before you make purchases over the internet.
